Veto of Bill That Provided
Only Cubans Sail Ships
(Oorroapoadano of The Aaaoclated Praaa.)
Havana, Cuba .May 25 President
Menocal has vetoed a bill .recently
passed by the Cuban congress, which
provided that no ship under Cuban
registry should be cleared from any
port of the republic unless the cap
tain was a native or naturalized Cu
ban citizen.
In vetoing the bill President Meno
cal stated thia country la without a
sufficient number of experienced nav
igators to have such a law on its
atatute books, and that to put such a
law in operation would work aerious
injury upon the republic'a smalt mer
chant marine and probably would re
sult in a compelling owners of the
several large ships now sailing under
the Cuban flag to transfer their regis
try to some other nation.
The measure Is said to have been
Inspired by ambitious Cubana who
have been studying marine engineer
ing in the hope that .they might be
able to become commanders of the
several interned German ahipa re
cently seized by the Cuban govern
ment when diplomatic relatione were

Club Owners in Three-I Vote
Down President's Proposal
to Suspend Operations
After July 4.
Chicago, June 16. Club owners of
the Three-I league in special session
here today voted to go through this
season. President Tearney was em
powered to shorten the schedule or
suspend if such action is made neces
sary, because of the war or a continu
ation of unfavorable weather. The
plan to end the season after the
Fourth of July games was dropped
for the present.
The auggestion for a suspension of
all minor leagues operating below "A"
clasification after the Fourth of July
was favorably received by some or
ganizations and opposed by others.
President H. W. Stahlhefer of the
Central league, advised the Three-I
executive that the Central league
would attempt to go through the sea
son. J. W. Beel, president of the
Western association, said the pro
posal to suspend after July 4, had been
voted down by the clubs of his organi
zation. Practically all the minor league
presidents admitted, however, that
prospects were not bright for success
in view of the war and mil favorable
weather conditions.

Sweden Has New Type
Of Airplane of Steel
(Correepondenca of The Aaaoclated Preaa.)
Stockholm, May 3. A new type
of airplane has been planned and con
structed by an officer in the Swedish
army, Lieutenant von Porat. It dif
fers from ordinary types in that it is
made entirely of steel and woven fab
rics, with the exception of the pro
pellor, which is of wood, and in the
arrangements of the wings. The lower
plane of the machine which is a
scout byplane with some resemb
lance to the Fokker type lies for
three-quarters of its width back of the
upper plane, instead of being directly
under it, as in most machines.
The especial advantage claimed for
the new airplane lies in its climbing
ability, which is declared to be 3,000
teet in four to five minutes. Its speed
is 100 miles an hour. The motor is
ot 100-horse power.

FEW BIG LEAGUERS
BEYOND DRAFT AGE
Only Fifty-Three of Several
Hundred Players in Two
Major Circuits Over 31
Years of Age.
The birth records of major league
ball players show that a large major
ity of the big toppers are subject to
conscription for military duty. Of
the several hundred players in Ameri
can and National leagues only fifty
.hree are beyond the age limit. Eight
others will reach their thirty-first
birthday during the present year.
In proportion to the ttotal mem
bership, it is doubtful V. any other
single line of endeavor could furnish
so many finely developed men for
active military service as are to be
found in the ranks of the two major
base ball leagues. It also goes with
out saying that the withdrawal of
those comifg within the age limit for
military duty would not leave a suf
ficient number of peppery vets to
keep the old game running
If all the Red Sox subject to draft
were ordered to report for duty, the
only member of the world's cham
pions left K the yard would be Larry
Gardener and Coach Heine Wagner.
Del Gainer will reach the age limit
next November, and Manager Jack
Barry may lay claim to the age of 31
next April.
Sam Crawford, Oscar Stanage and
Hack Spencer could form a lone trio
of Detroit pastimers to carry on the
game should the Tigers be called to
the colors. Ty Cobb will reach the
3afety goal next December.
Braves Hold Six.
The Boston Braves, with many vet
erans on it roster, would be able to
hold more regulars than any other
big league team. Pastimers with the
Stallings outfit who have passed the
age limit include Johnny Evers, Ed
Konetchy, Sherwood Magee, Pat
Ragon, Ed Reulbach and Tom
Hughes. Considerabe class to this
sextet, and Manager George coird use
them to advantage in forming another
band of Braves.
A general draft of the Giants would
leave Napoleon McGraw with an army
of five to battle for the National
league pennant. The Giants who
would still be able to cavort at the
Polo grounds are Heine Zimmerman,
Captain Charley Herzog, Slim Salee,
lohn Lobe.-t and George Gibbon.
Five of the Dodgers and four Phil
lies would escaoe the draft. Ut the
Phils, George Paskert, Gavvy Cra
vath, Jimmy Lavender and Bobby
Byrne have reached the age where
nothing remains for them but to keep
on pastiming. Grover Cleveland Al
exander, the Phils' great twirler, will
reach his thirty-first 'birthday next
hebruary. f red Luderus, also ot tne
Phils, will be 21 next September.
Five Brooks Over Age.
The Dodgers would be able to hold
Mike Mowrey, Chief Meyers, Ivan
Olson. lack Coombs and Jake Dau-
bert. Not a bad lot of entertainers,
but Uncle Wilbur would have to go
some to cop another pennant with
them.
The Browns, the Cardinals and the
White Sox would each have three
pastimers left behind should a general
order be issued for the ball players to
report. The Browns could keep Bob
Groom, Jimmy Austin and Bert Shot
ten. The Cardinals would have "Red"
Ames, Bob Bescher and Bill Steele,
and the White Sox could retain Eddie
Cicotte and Joe Benz. Jack Miller of
the Cardinals' will reach the age limit
next September and Shang Collins of
the White box will come under tne
wire in December.
Other of the big leaguers who
would escape the draft because of
their age are Clyde Milan, ueorge
McBride and Eo Ainsmith of the
Senators, Bill Hinchman and Frank
Schulte of the Pirates, Jimmy Archer
and Harry Wolter ot the Cubs,
"Home Run" Baker of the Yankees,
Hal Chase of the Reds, Cy Falken
burg of the Athletics and Terry Tur
ner ot tne Indians.
Jack Graney of the Indians will
reach the age limit next month, Larry
Doyle of the Cubs next July and Ping
Bodie of the Athletics next October.

PETERSON HORSES
SHOW EARLY SPEED
Baxter Lou Makes Spring Rec
ord for Indianapolis Track;
Ben Earl Prepares for Tilt
.With Single G.
Indianapolis, Ind., June 16. Mai
vin Childs, the clever young reinsman,
who trains and races the racing stable
of the t)maha contractor, Edward
Peterson, let his stake pacer, Baxter
Lou, ZAlyi, down to a mile in 2:12 this
week, this being the fastest mile
trotted or paced over the local track
this season. Baxter Lou stepped the
last quarter of this mile in 31 seconds
and was flying when the wire was
reached. Childs is more than pleased
with the manner in which this side
wheeler is taking his work and be
lieves that the chestnut gelding will
prove a star in rich pacing stakes in
which he has been liberally entered
down the Grand circuit.
Mr. Peterson purchased Baxter
Lou last fall for a long figure, and
hopes to have a stake winner in the
fast gelding. The unsexed son of
Kinney Lou, 2:07)4, worked in 2:03
over the Lexington, Ky., t ack last
October, and those who witnessed
the performance placed the stamp of
approval on him then. He looks to
be in far better shape now than he
was last year, and should improve
sufficiently to make him hard to beat
when the time for going after the big
money comes around.
Ben Earl in Pink.
The sensational pacing geUjing, Ben
Earl, 2:00, which gained the dis
tinction of being the leading money
winning pacer of 1916, is in the pink
of condition this spring and Childs
hopes to pull off some good races
with the brown gelding this years.
Ben upset the dope on several oc
casions last season when he hooked
into the Grand Circuit stars at Colum
buS and Lexington and took them in
to camp; and he not only showed him
self to be a sensationally fast wig
gler but a dead game one as well.
Childs has not asked him to beat
2:13 so far, but he has several quar
ters around 30 seconds which shows
that the Omaha pride has his brush
with him.
Ben's first race of importance will
come when he meets the Indiana
stallion, Single G., 2:00, in the big
match over the Youngstown (Ohio)
half-mile track the second week in
July. Childs intends to slip away in
a few days and will start Ben Earl
a time or two on the two-lap tracks
before his session with Single G. at
Youngstown, that the fast gelding
may be ready when the match race
takes place.
No Slouch on Sharp Turns.
White Ben Earl gained his greatest
honors over the mile tracks, the Oma
ha pacer has demonstrated that he is
no slouch when it comes to "turning"
the double O courses. He paced sev
eral miles around 2:06 over the west
ern half mile tracks last year, while
Single G. has never beaten 2:07j4
over the small tracks. It is safe to
say that Ben will be ready to put in
two or three heats in 2:05 or better
at Youngstown, and that will come
very near winning, it is thought.
After the Grand Circuit starts, Ben
Earl will be forced to go up against
Single G., 2:00, Russell Boy, 2:00,
Braden Direct, 2:0 Miss Harris
M., (4) 2:01J4, Hal Boy, 2:01, and
other stars, but horsemen in general
are of the opinion that he will lead
them all a "dog' life" if he has no bad
luck. With Ben Earl and Baxter Lou
to carry the Peterson colors in the
battles along the Big Ring, Omaha
is sure to get its share of the glory
in the coming campaign.
